Sightseeing in Madrid
Madrid is a very lively city with a very interesting culture, various
concert-cafes, bars and restaurants and an exciting nightlife.
The real centre of Madrid is Puerta del Sol, the city gate which used
to be, in the 15th century, the most important entrance into Madrid.
The huge clock and the statue of the bear are now Madrid’s symbols.
We recommend a visit to the Palacio Real, at Calle Belén.
It is an impressive building in Italian Baroque style. The throne room
is worth viewing, as are the gardens, the Jardines de Sabatini and Campo
del Moro.
We recommend a visit to Madrid’s huge flee market, El Rastro. It
starts early Sunday morning in the Ribera de Curtidores. You will find
this a really interesting alternative to ordinary sightseeing.
Madrid’s nightlife takes place between Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Santa Ana on the Calle Huertas. Discover the bars, beer gardens,
tavernas, theatre cafes and restaurants.
Our school organises excursions to Toledo, Segovia and El Escorial.
